` Schedule referred to in' these Letters-Patent and making part ofthefsarae.

To all1vho-itiuty rincari-i,.- V i i Be it known4 that: I, ,WILLIAMADAGGETT, of

Landis Township, in thev count-y of Cumberland and: y ,State of NewJersey, have inventedA certain 'new and useful` Improvements inClothes-Racks, and I do hereby declare that the `following is afull,clear, and

exact description thereof', reference being had tothe f l accompanyingdrawing, andlto thele'tters of reference `marked thereon, which form` apartfof' this specifi# .cation.'

` The natlire of my invention "consists inthe con?.

,struction and arrangeineritgofa clothes-rack, as will `be hereinafterfullyset forth."` i f In order to enable -iothers' skilledv in the4artj-,to

.whichmy'invention appertains to make and usetlie same, I willnowproceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to` theannexed drawingin which-.- i i Figure 1 is afiiontview,and I. Figure 2,an eudfview of my iinprovedclothes-rack. i A A repiesenttwo,swingingbrackets, and' B B,thesnpportsfor. the same,rnade of any suit- Thesupports B B are 0n` the topi of 'each is formed a hook,

are securedin a plumb position against the wallQand i liaveeacha1ip,i1,at Athe upper and '1o\ver"e`uds, with "a hole through-each; r f

h The inner Vendsof the brackets A have correspond-` ing holes, so thatwhen placed together, ablt,cl, may 1 be passed down, whichv completesthe "han ging and the hinging of the'brackets. The hinged ends ofthebrackets are made to stand secured to the wall by the horizontal untilthey reach the place where the first bar is` attached. `From this pointthe bracket slopes i or angles downward, enough toallow the bars to passunder eachother, when the rack is closed around against the wall. Y

At suit-able spaces on 'the brackets are bearings, e, for each bar, theupper surfaces of which are level, and

projcotto one side thevidth of the bar that is-to rest upon it.V'lhsbearn,.,r has `a. hole through the center,

in which is passedV upa bolt or "screw to secure the bars `D inposition, and allows the brackets to swing around under the bars. A

When the rack is extended out from .the wall, the

fbarsacross their ends forman angle to the wall. 'An o equalreverse`angle-is formedwhen the rack is closed arund against the wall. Y O n theunder edge. of the brackets A, are hooks, f,

`to which other bars, D', are suspended byvroords. v I @On the frontedge of the bars D are hooks, 11whiclr' are available for use when therack is closed.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Tile brackets A A with their bearings e e, and hooks; ff, in combinationwith bars D D and supports B B,

all' constructed and arranged asshown, and for the vpurpose described..

In-te'stimony that I claim the foregoing as my own,

affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. WILLAM A. DAGGETT.
